To force a signal search:

Press and hold [CHANNEL] & [MEM] for 2-seconds to
enforce a 3-minute search.

This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of
the remote and main units.

Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the respective remote
unit.

HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

Display of readings from a remote sensor or the main unit is a one-
step procedure. The remote sensor channel or the main unit display
is indicated in a box under the kinetic-wave icon.

To display temperature / humidity readings from the main unit:

Press [CHANNEL] until a dot is displayed in the box under the
kinetic-wave.

To display temperature / humidity readings from a remote
sensor:

Press [CHANNEL] until the appropriate remote sensor channel
is displayed in the box under the kinetic-wave.

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel goes
blank, press [CHANNEL] & [MEM] to enforce an immediate search.

If that fails, check:

1. The remote unit of that channel is still in place.

2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace as

necessary.

Note that when the temperature falls below freezing point, the
batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply
and the effective range.

3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles

and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home
security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this
product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and
does not affect the general performance of the product. The
transmission and reception of temperature and humidity readings
will resume once the interference recedes.
